| The Nazi Olympics take Place |
As Hitler was still laughing over the remilitarization of the Rhineland, the Berlin Games of 1936 was ready to begin. The German Ministry of Propaganda did a huge campaign to attract tourists to see the how great Nazi Germany really was. Flags and Nazi swastikas hung from monuments and buildings in the festive looking Berlin. The Games were ready to begin with pomp and circumstance.
On Saturday August 1, 1936, the Opening Ceremonies for the Berlin Summer Games took place. Fanfares announced the arrival of Hitler to the large German crowd. The hundreds of athletes then entered the stadium for the opening ceremony. Then, starting a new tradition, Fritz Schilgen entered the stadium entered carrying a lighted torch carried by rely from the site of the ancient Olympic games. As Hitler declared the games open, the tourists to Germany were amazed.
On Sunday, August 2, 1936, the events began. Track and Field was the first scheduled competition. As Hitler watched the first few races, he boosted on how his master race would demolish all competition. Jesse Owens, an African American track star, took home four gold medals away from Hitler and his master race. Owens won the 100 meter, 200 meter, long jump, and was a member of the 4x100 meter relay. Owens also set a new world record in the 100 of 10.3 seconds. Hitler was so furious by his performance that he left the stadium before he and Owens would have met.
Owens was not the only one to pop holes in Hitler's master race balloon. All ten other African Americans on the American team won some sort of medal. Even with the great success of the African American for the American team, Germany still won the most medals in the Games. A table follows with the run down of the top three nations.
